I'd like to know more about the video capabilities. How easy is it to load/watch movies?

In terms of video quality it's capabilities are not very high as you would probably expect. I believe it includes a program that scans your computer for videos and allows you select which ones you wish to add. They are then converted to a low-quality format and automatically added to your video library so the process of adding videos is pretty easy.

I have used it for watching pictures without any issue. I have seen people watching videos on it and reviews in general are positive.

This thing is amazing! It has supported every format ive thrown at it...the pic. quality is awesome...however it depends on the quality of the video before download...it does play and show in HD though.

Absolutely.I have movies & HD videos, stored on mine (i've since purchased another).They transfer fast via 3.0, and you can watch them directly from the drive.

I used to have this device and it's very good for the price, I played 1080p movies without issues, netflix and such. I have also used VLC to play video and music files from a shared drive on a PC, I understand it's not the same as streaming movies from a NAS, however I do think VLC has that capability, so I don't see why it would not work.

I have had mine for a few months now and I am very happy with it. The remote buttons are a little tricky, but I love being able to watch DVDs from any region.

Ive had it for over 6months. I really like it. It streams hulu..Netflix and more. Only downfall is that it won't stream certain video types directly from the wed.

I had this same problem, too. put a couple of movies on there and it was almost painful to try to watch. I don't think this device works very well for videos/movies. :/ I doubt the hardware is good enough to provide a proper, synced playback.

You can record, but you cannot watch films on it. Also, the browser doesn't actually allow you to browse the internet... It only lets you browse the files that you have on the device.

Yes, I was able to connect to You Tube and watch something. I had to sign up for Netflix and I got that far, but didn't want to set up for the trial month. So that's all I can say about that. It does not have flash - so if there's anything you need that uses flash, it won't play (some of the stuff I might want to watch off of Facebook won't play).....I love it for sitting and playing games while watching TV. It's faster than the 2x2 that I had before. Hope this helps.

Vegas Movie 10 seems to be able to handle the files much better than premeire. I plan to write a review soon (just got back from Europe with tons of footage).

Yes! if you're into movies this would be great for you. My wife and I took this route to cut the cable and haven't looked back. The roku is actually a small "computer" that attaches to your tv and downloads movies and more through your internet connection. If you are using ATT uverse your in good shape. If you haven't already I highly recommend going with a wireless router and connecting your roku through the router wirelessly. This is super easy to connect and operate. So easy a fool like myself can do it. you will then have access to amazon, Netflix, popcornflix, premier, lifetime, spirit clips, and so many more. Netflix will cost you around nine bucks a month (cost per year is just slightly more than we were paying monthly for dish network-) and you have unlimited access to as many movies as you wish to watch. Same deal with amazon prime. spirit clips is like three or four dollars per month and there are multitudes of freebees on the net where you only have to watch an occasional ad, nothing like the endless commercials on the tube. Do it, you won't regret it.

Yes, the video option is very easy to execute. The length of the videos that can be shot depends on the memory of the SD card. A 32 MB card with give you approximately 480 minutes.

It is not a really good video player since its ram is limited. However, it is a good music player.

You can absolutely watch Netflix and Youtube videos on this tablet. This is our dual core higher end tablet and the video quality should be excellent with no lag.

Hello Leslie, I haven't explored the video capabilities in depth, but just with base settings, I've been pretty happy with the video capabilities. The images come out clear with smooth fps. I guess it depends on what level of quality you're looking for, at a hobby level, it's been awesome and I am able to use the still photos for my professional work.

Yes I actually have this setup so I stream from my main pc to my multimedia room. Before i did try it i had the idea that a really big hd movie like 10Gb would give me problems but its pretty amazing how the media player reproduces the movie with no problems at all.Configuring your shared folder so the box can see your videos can be the tricky part but here is the video I used to configure my shared folder so it wont ask for password and all my family can view the content.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQstgQ4eJCM
